'Rethinking Public Private Partnerships by Mervyn Lewis is an invaluable addition to the literature on the procurement of public infrastructure assets and services. It evaluates the conflicting claims in both the academic and professional literature about the relative value-for-money (VfM) to the public of bundled procurement of the financing, design, construction and operation of infrastructure assets through PPS vs. traditional, unbundled delivery of projects through public finance and a chain of private contractors and subcontractors managed by a public agency. The book is engaging, clearly written, jargon-free, scrupulously balanced, and nuanced in its conclusions about the circumstances under which each approach delivers higher lifecycle VfM to the public. It is a must-read for academics, private infrastructure providers and public agencies contemplating the use of PPPs.' -- Raymond Levitt, Stanford University, US
